I have a leaking drain cock.
It is on the pipe which comes from the mains water pipe in the airing cupboard.
one pipe goes off to the cold taps etc upstairs, the other pipe goes into the hot water cylinder. This is where it is leaking from on the pipe just outside the hot water tank
What i want to know is if i turnoff the water at the stop cock in the airing cupboard then drain down the cold taps, this will empty one pipe.
Then if i attach a hose to the drain cock until the water stops, could i then replace the washer inside the drain cock.
Then when changed re tighten drain cock and open up stop cock to refill the hot water cylinder.
Does this sound right?
Many thanks Darren
